Your biggest bitcoin regrets?

[ethereumhunter]

I was ignoring bitcoin for over 2 years because I kept thinking that it was some illegal, geeky and shady thing that I should better stay away from.

same to me, i don't search more about bitcoin before when i read someone write about bitcoin in one of website. i remember that in 2010 i already make account in blockchain but i don't buy any bitcoin until in the middle of 2015, i read that bitcoin is another source to make money and when i check in my notes, i am regrets why i don't buy bitcoin in the past.

Well, there's something odd in your post above, if you're referring to blockchain.info which you said you have been registered there in the past (2010) but according to the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain.info it's launched in August 2011. But whether you're lying or not, who knows?

What are some of your biggest bitcoin regrets, and what were you thinking back then?

Besides "not getting in sooner"

EDIT: Bitcoin "mistakes" go here =)

Just discovered Bitcoin now which is very late.

Back when the price of bitcoin was still at $400, I had some idle funds that would have been used for buying two bitcoins. I only made a small purchase that time, not knowing that the price is going to surge several times before eventually reaching over $1000. It is always easier to look in hindsight, but so far that has been the biggest regret I've had with regard to bitcoin.

HYIP sites, probably about 1.5 btc my bitcoin lost due to following site hyip. I'm very regret because I collect 1.5 btc with difficulty, join the signature campaign, giveaway, faucets and a few other programs. I never again join the hyip.

Hyip is a scam, when i was new in btc world i am not also aware of scam sites so it was a lesson learned. i think if i have regrets in btc, that is not knowing it earlier so i had the chance to invest when it is not yet popular and the price are still low.

Yes correct, don't ever follow the HYIP programs again, the initial time I know I lot of bitcoin, invest in ponzi system such as cloud mining. I lost about 3 bitcoin. For better investment is we buy the new coins which will be launching or ICO. I had the experiences of getting a profit of up to 200% when ICONOMI only in a week.

My biggest regret...
must be I knew BTC few years ago when there is only USD 2xx for 1 BTC (or even less, can't remember),
but didn't exchange much in that time, and now is USD 1000 for 1 BTC

I can relate to that but my situation is much worst. Way back 2009 and 2010 you can get 1 bitcoin or more a day from just clicking the faucets. I was very doubtful that time that I stop collecting bitcoins after getting 2 bitcoin to enter my desktop wallet. The value of bitcoin that time was very low but last 2014 I have heard that bitcoin has skyrocket in price, I did not expect to happened. Then I check out my computer to check my wallet but sad to say I have reformat my hard drive along with my bitcoins last 2013. If I have just believe in bitcoins that time and take it seriously then I will have already a house on my own constructed from the profits earned in bitcoin.

When the bitcoins price is dropping I just kept all ofy bitcoins in my wallet and earning more and more because I think before that bitcoin has a future , after 2 years of storing I have now few bitcoin in my wallet and It cost high than The price that I bought it. I am an victim of scam sites before I can delate the pain when you have been scamed thats why I didnt Invest in HYIPs starting when I get  scamed.

It looks like same with me, I've found Bitcoin in last 2014 - 2015 and I think the price is $200, I regret it because I did not research so much about bitcoin I though it's only payment method like PayPal, I did not know that I can earn with it, after that I've to use bitcoin in December 2015 and the price is $420 I shocked because my last saw is about $200 I did not know that the price of bitcoin is not stable.

I personally experienced regret about bitcoin because invest into cloudmining and HYIP sites. It was based because I just know the world bitcoin, and easily fooled by the advertisements that offer a huge advantage. But now it is not I do it again, now I focus on trading hehe. Maybe it was the thing I regret. Thank you

This is the most biggest mistake we made was ignoring bitcoin and we do not look at it in its positive way. And not knowing that it will grow as what we have now. Its really remarkable growth. I dont see any other commodity which has gained so popularity in recent time as Bitcoin itself.

I also regret for investing money in cloud mining sites. That time I was new to this bitcoin thing. I didnt know there were so many scams in the internet. It was my mistake without proper enquiry I invested into cloud mining sites nearly 600 dollars. That time bitcoin price was only 320 dollars . Instead of investing that money in cloud mining sites and invested that money in buying real bitcoins ,I would have got  nearly 2 bitcoins which is now equal to 2000 dollars.The cloud mining sites were I invested just went down during the halving time .

Similar here so that's my regret regarding bitcoin. Simply I regret not getting in a lot earlier at a time when the price was a lot cheaper when I could have bought a lot more bitcoin's

Just one time in gambling. When all the win are coming and yet I cant stop because of the momentum.  It is all like being programmed. After than it have been consecutive lost even after that day it is like the gambling site is taking back all my winnings. So I decided to stop for a week though I still played from other websites. I realized I couldn't turn back time. I shouldve stopped when I felt I am winning.

[South Park]

My biggest regret few months back I deposit some big amount in Casino for trying to double but as I deposit they gone and never came back I try to contact them but they never reply and run away with my 10 bitcoins now I cannot do this again in near future and living very poor life

That is sad, you could have lost the money anyway since you were playing in a casino but to lose the money without even have a chance to play is terrible, can you tell us the name of the casino? Even if it has disappear it will be good to know if for some reason they ever come back to try to scam more coins.

Just discovered Bitcoin now which is very late.

After few years, you'll be very happy that you discovered bitcoin still quite early.
2017 is not so late, we are still in the beginning of the wider adoption process and the real fun will start when bitcoin will be taken as something common, something what is used in everyday life. Then bitcoin will be 3k usd or more, and 2017 will only be a sweet memory.
